Stanford and Arc Institute scientists used AI to design new viruses that killed bacteria in the lab
A research team in California has used artificial intelligence to design working viruses that kill bacteria, in what they describe as the "first generative design of complete genomes." The project marks an early step toward AI-designed life forms, according to a report in MIT Technology Review.<br /> The article Stanford and Arc Institute scientists used AI to design new viruses that killed bacteria in the lab appeared first on THE DECODER.

Frontier models are failing one in three production attempts — and getting harder to audit
AI agents are now embedded in real enterprise workflows, and they're still failing roughly one in three attempts on structured benchmarks. That gap between capability and reliability is the defin [...]
DNA building blocks on asteroid Ryugu, bacteria that eat plastic waste, and more science news
Remember when Japan sent a spacecraft to an asteroid 180 million miles away to scoop some dirt off the surface? Six years on from its arrival to Earth, that sample has yielded some insights about what [...]
Anthropic ships major Claude Design overhaul with design system imports, code round-trips, and a fix for its token-burning problem
When Anthropic quietly released Claude Design in April as a "research preview," it generated the kind of instant traction most product teams dream about: more than one million users in its f [...]
Stanford is running 37,000 AI agents as a virtual biotech — and one of its drug designs got independently confirmed by Merck
For developers, the operating assumption has been one engineer, one agent — the model Claude Code and similar tools. At VB Transform 2026, James Zou, associate professor of biomedical data science a [...]
